Out of the Abyss

Escape from Velkynvelve

Session 1 Recap, 6/6/17

JUN/17

With Jorlan's help, the party was able to escape the drow prison outpost of Velkynvelve. They raided the armory, surprised and killed the drow guards at the northern outpost, and went careening into the water below. Despite an unfortunate encounter with a Gray Ooze and an injured Vrock, they were able to escape the cavern.

They made haste toward Sloobludop, moving as quickly as possible while still gathering the necessary supplies to survive. They encountered such creatures as a strange land-dwelling octopus, screaming mushrooms and giant fire beetles. They also briefly met a suspicious Svirfneblin, and a mad drow – whom they murdered, for fear that he would give their trail away to the slavers they suspected to be following.

A small band of Shield Dwarf scouts crossed paths with the party on their sixth day outside Velkynvelve, and Eldeth opted to continue journeying with them.

On the last night before reaching Sloobludop, the party was awoken by screaming. Topsy had suffered a significant wound in the night, clearly inflicted by a piercing weapon – but there were no enemies in sight, and no trail left by anyone other than the party.

Outside Sloobludop, Snap-Swish demonstrated his newly gained ability to shapeshift, which appeared to cause some amount of consternation to Topsy and Turvy, the Svirfneblin twins.
